The Fuel prices for RON97 petrol will remain unchanged from August 19 to August 25.This makes the current price for the RON97 to stay at RM 2.74 per litre from RM 2.73 per litre previously.<div class="container" style="display: flex;"><amp-img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/959/2779996/Fuel-Prices-full.jpg" width="1100px" height="578px" layout="responsive" style="width: 100%"></amp-img></div>The Ministry of Finance stated that they will maintain the ceiling prices of RON95 for RM2.05 per litre and diesel for RM2.15 per litre even though the actual prices for both products have increased over the ceiling price. This was to ensure that users will not be affected with the actual global price."The government will continue to monitor the impact of crude oil price fluctuations and take appropriate measures to safeguard the well-being of the people," said the Ministry of Finance.

In an unlit stretch of the highway, with no streetlights, the PlusRonda personnel will only be able to see what is on the road in front of their vehicle," she said in her ground of judgment.The appellate court said PLUS's duty to care at common law to the users of the highway to maintain the highway in good repair and condition is non-delegable.The court added that although PLUS had delegated its duty to maintain and repair the highway to Propel, it remains liable for Propel's negligence that results in damage or injury to the users of the highway.Source: <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nst.com.my/news/regional/2025/09/1281145/court-tells-plus-light-dark-stretches-nse-after-fatal-crash" target="_blank">NST</a>
